Das stille Königreich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Es gibt ein stilles Königreich,
ist keinem Land der Erde gleich,
liegt über Wolken und Winden.
O weh, wer wird es finden?
Und wer es findt, ich sag es dir:
Wer so in Sehnsucht lebt wie wir.

Le royaume silencieux
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Il y a un royaume silencieux,
aucun pays sur la terre n'est son égal,
il est au-dessus des nuages et des vents.
Oh, hélas, qui le trouvera ?
Et à celui qui le trouvera je dis :
Qu'il vit comme nous dans la nostalgie.
